By moving back down in weight? Especially at his age.
A few years ago Roach was saying Manny couldn't make 140 anymore. Maybe it was rhetoric but I don't see how as an older fighter he can go back down to 140. If he does, I guess he would be at a disadvantage against a top JWW, so long as they don't have trouble making 140 as well.
i hope they are not pulling a floyd and trying to bail on what is soon to become the deepest and hottest division in boxing.
smdh....
Well...sorry but it looks that way
147lb is starting to heat up again....and Garcia/Lucas were going to move up soon.....Manny going to 140 is Arum idead to match him up with other TR fighters....cuz all the best fighters are 147 haymn/golden boy fighters
If Pac fought more in the 140 in his prime, I think he would have been even more of a beast. Imagine a stronger and faster prime Pacquiao. He's just a natural 140'er. He was forced to move up because of the big money fights.
I think they're protecting a shattered mandible. Algieri and Bradley are not punchers at all and Rios is an accumulating mauler not a guy who is loading up on his shots. There are questions about Pac's jaw that remain to be answered imo.
What questions? He HAS a glass jaw point blank period, end of story.

No I shouldn't think so. His natural fighting weight isn't welterweight, he only moved there for the titles and the matchups that could be made. He can still easily make 140 and he's faster and a comparatively stronger puncher at that weight.
